Married a Secret Billionaire

Chapter 1831

“W-What did you say?” Cindy’s expression stiffened for a moment.

Jodie stabbed at the steak on her plate. Her fork froze mid-air, the desire to bring it to her mouth evaporating. Her appetite had vanished. What she craved wasn’t the taste of the steak but the satisfaction of sinking her fork into Maisie’s flesh, tearing it into pieces, and spitting it onto the ground.

Cindy’s conscience lingered. “Jojo, taking someone’s life… That’s not right, is it? Besides, your brother already hurt her once. It’s miraculous that she survived. You should…”

“Are you my mom or hers?” Jodie seethed with anger.

Cindy trembled, attempting to placate. “Of course, I’m your mom. You’re my dear daughter!”

“Then help me with this!”

Cindy shrugged, hesitant to say more.

From their dining spot, they observed the hotel entrance across the street.

At that moment, Maisie, Daniel, and Wilfred emerged from the hotel.

The trio stood outside, conversing, each adorned with a radiant smile.

Maisie was close to Daniel, exuding petite delicacy. Wilfred shook hands with Daniel, both men possessing extraordinary grace.

Jodie was stupefied.

She witnessed Daniel’s care for Maisie and detected a different look in Wilfred’s eyes toward her. Suddenly, an intense surge of hatred enveloped her.

If everything hadn’t gone awry 20 years ago, these three may now have been father-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law…

Jodie’s lips quivered. Uncontrollable jealousy and hatred coiled around her like vines, binding her tightly.

Cindy glanced at the hotel entrance, then cautiously looked at her, asking softly, “Jojo, what’s wrong? Has that girl been bothering you lately?”

“No.”

“Then why…”

“I just want her dead! Can’t you understand?” Jodie gritted her teeth, her eyes red, looking terrifying.

“I… just… want her dead!” Each word came out deliberately.

Cindy was taken aback, remaining silent.

She gazed into the distance. Maisie was thriving, cherished and protected by Daniel. Perhaps no one in Cumulus City dared to oppose her. Moreover, Wilfred was her biological father. Even though it wasn’t known now, the truth would eventually come out.

What would Jodie do then?

Having lived as a pampered heiress for over 20 years, could she accept the vast disparity if she returned to the slum-like family?Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

The only solution now was for Maisie to vanish from this world, and all troubles would be resolved…

Cindy took a sharp breath, gripping her trembling hands tightly together. After a while, she said slowly, “Fine, I’ll help you get rid of her!”

Jodie snapped her eyes up.

“For you, I’m willing to do anything.” Cindy smiled. “You’re my daughter. Whoever you want me to eliminate, I’ll listen to you!” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“You…”

Jodie choked. “Mom” lingered at the tip of her tongue for a long time, but she eventually swallowed it back. At the end of the day, she still despised this mother.

Cindy’s eyes were full of expectation as she quietly watched her. However, her enthusiasm gradually faded after waiting for a long time and not hearing that word.

“W-What were you about to say?”

“Nothing.” Jodie turned her head away. “Just be careful when you eliminate her. Don’t make it too obvious.”

“Oh.” Cindy awkwardly chuckled. “Don’t worry, I won’t attract attention. Maisie is sentimental. Although I don’t treat her well, she listens to me. Lately, I’ve been showing concern for her, inviting her back home for meals. She’ll definitely come.”

“You’re not planning to poison her, are you?”
